Honoring the Feminine

by 12 Comments

moon__s_lover_by_sabrinaelisabeth-d2v4fa2Words by the Apostle Paul have been used in the New Testament to justify some real monstrosities by men. For example, Ephesians 5:24 is often used to make women, especially wives, to be a sort of doormat that stifles the creativity and beauty of an awesome part of creation—the feminine aspect of duality. That scripture states:

“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.”

At first glance, this scripture seems to be literally preaching that women should be subject to their husbands in everything! [Read more…] about Honoring the Feminine

The Deeper Mystery of the Virgin Birth

Consciousness“Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.”

—     Albert Einstein

Einstein was a perceptive person. He knew that fundamentalists—from either the science or religious camp—can never arrive at the truth because they each see existence through the lens of their own ego. Our egos always blind us so that we only see falsity and half-truths. Have you [Read more…] about The Deeper Mystery of the Virgin Birth

Joshua Tells the Sun and the Moon to Stand Still: Meditation for Higher Awareness

by 23 Comments

Moon stands stillOne of the strangest stories of the Bible, and, perhaps one of the most improbable, is when the sun and moon stand still at the command of Joshua so the Israelites can finish slaughtering their enemies. The Bible states:

“Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed [Read more…] about Joshua Tells the Sun and the Moon to Stand Still: Meditation for Higher Awareness

When Is It Time to Leave Your Church?

by 25 Comments

ChurchIn-empty1If you are content with your church experience, there’s no need to read this post. But if you have ever felt like you would rather be somewhere else during your church service, please read on.

I talk with a lot of people who go to church but aren’t getting any fulfillment there anymore. Most of the time it’s because they are seeing contradictions or holes within the doctrines of their faith. Others may just be tired of teaching [Read more…] about When Is It Time to Leave Your Church?

The Twenty-Four Elders, the Four Beasts, and the Throne of God

by 14 Comments

Revelations chapter four opens with an important invitation in the human conscious experience. Verse one states:

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven…”

The opening door to heaven is a metaphor for a state of higher consciousness. Jesus made it clear in Luke that the Kingdom of Heaven was within us, and heaven can only be accessed by turning inward. That verse finishes with: [Read more…] about The Twenty-Four Elders, the Four Beasts, and the Throne of God

How God and the Breath Are Linked

by 20 Comments

Breathing and GodBreathing and the breath in general is an important concept in esoteric practices. The question is why. Let’s start with the Bible scripture Genesis 2:7:

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.”

In the above scripture the “breath of life” is associated with “living soul.” Scientifically we know that man needs oxygen in order for our cells to function properly. Without oxygen human cells die. [Read more…] about How God and the Breath Are Linked

Three and a Half Coils, Kundalini, and Revelations Chapter One

by 34 Comments

kundalini serpent energyMany Christians are quick to brush off the notion that Revelations contains esoteric knowledge about the mind, body, God, and even kundalini. I understand the reservation because I was once a mainstream Christian, but the evidence is scattered throughout the book. All it takes is an open mind and a willingness to admit that mainstream Christianity might have missed something. 🙂

Before delving into chapter one, I want you to see the importance of the number 3 ½ in the rest of Revelations. It’s literally scattered everywhere and it has to do with kundalini. After reviewing a short history of this sacred number, we’ll look at each individual scripture in Revelations that contains it.

Introduction to the Book of Revelations

by 21 Comments

ApocolypseThe Book of Revelations is no end-of-the-world scenario. Jesus Christ is not coming back with a tattoo, riding a horse, and swinging a sword to declare war on the unjust and herald the end of everything. Pastors who teach and preach this are reading into things too literally or regurgitating Biblical commentaries.

It’s a little uncanny how often literal scripture reading conveys the very opposite meaning than what was intended. While most people assume Revelations is about the future, it’s really about the eternal NOW. Jesus Christ declares that he is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, throughout this book of spiritual revelation. These phrases are indicative of the eternal NOW.

Will the Esoteric Jesus Please Stand Up?

by 15 Comments

esoteric jesusMany people have looked for a clear presentation of the esoteric Jesus in the Bible. He’s really not so hard to find. In fact, once the Biblical symbols are properly decoded he practically screams from the text! The reason the esoteric Jesus has remained veiled is because the church has lost the art of decoding these symbols. Over the next few posts we’ll resurrect that art as it relates to Jesus’ major life initiations: coming out of Egypt, his Baptism, transfiguration, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension.

From God to Israel: Divinity of Man Revealed in the Pentateuch

by 49 Comments

God in manThere is an important truth about the divinity of man veiled in the first and last words of the first five books of the Bible. Known as the Pentateuch and the Torah, the first five books are the bedrock and foundation of scripture, so it makes sense that a powerful statement about the divinity of man would lie in this cornerstone.

What the Twelve Tribes of Israel and the Tabernacle Really Symbolize

by 58 Comments

Brain and the BibleIn our last post we established that the temples of the Bible were symbolic of the human body, not literal buildings. We also discussed that Christ is raised in our bodies. This post will continue to show how the scripture unfolds this process.

If you take the Bible literally and still think the tabernacle and temples were historical buildings, read the article entitled, The Esoteric Interpretation of Solomon’s Temple, and that might help set the record straight for you.

In the end, Jesus told us it all boils down to consciousness anyways. [Read more…] about What the Twelve Tribes of Israel and the Tabernacle Really Symbolize

Could Colossians 2:9 Really Suggest We Are God?

by 31 Comments

we are godIn my last post I discussed two verses that I believe sum up a core theme of the Bible: not only is god-potential latent in every human being, but we are god. In this post I am going to explore this concept further by discussing Colossians 2:9. I’ll close with a little information on the potential of the human brain and DNA, two subjects which will become more frequent in upcoming posts.

Let’s review our foundation scripture first:

“For in him [Christ] dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” [Read more…] about Could Colossians 2:9 Really Suggest We Are God?

The Message of the Bible in Two Radical Verses

by 34 Comments

We are GodsI believe a fundamental—yet radical—message of the Bible can be summed up in a few short verses, and I’m going to share with it you in this post. I will probably get some hate mail because of it. I’ll probably even have a few people tell me I’m going to hell. But that’s what I expect from a message as powerful as the one you’re about to hear. Powerful messages are always misunderstood anyway. Jesus himself got crucified for it.

Without further ado, here are the verses: [Read more…] about The Message of the Bible in Two Radical Verses
